Fashion Highlights Featured in Eastern Star Show F Or Tbough the M inistry of Labor has been the prime scapegoat during the recent uproar about community arena sbutdowns, Dr. Bett( Stephenson gently but firmly reminded her audience at the Bowmanville Rotary Club last week that the, blame belong elsewhere. It is tbe owners and opera- tors of local arenas, not thE government or the ministry of e it y ;t )f labor, wbo must shoulder the respoasibility for complying with safety standards, Dr. Stephenson stated.' Considering the message, the labor minister delivered ber comments in an appro- priate place. Ia the Town of Newcastle alone, there -are three arenas whicb now re- quire extensive repair or replacement, and to date, only the Bowmanville Arena has been given clearance to re- main open for the season wbile, repairs are in progress.. As for the Newcastle and' Orono structures, the owners are stili awaiting word about their fate, and special permis- sion will have to be granted by the ministry of labor if they are to remain open this season. Though Dr. Stephenson did flot single out specific cases, she made it clear that mosit arena difficulties could have been avoided if owners had complied with salfety stan- dards before the receat cruncil came.

Speaking to 100 members and guests of the Rotary Club, Dr. Stephenson urged that safety was an issue that demaads joint lahor manage- ment and responsibility, plus the close attention and co- operation of politicians of al parties. Even. though fatalities la Ontario work places have declined 144 perc ent!siace 1974, the labor minister is not yet satisfied that enougb is being done to reduce the toîl f urther. Describiag healtb and safe- ty legisiation as a 'contentious issue', Dr.,Stephenson warned that "there is ao room for bollow promises and partisan politics in this matter. If we are guilty of irresponsibility, it won't be management, labor leaders or politicians who are the victims. t will be the workers.
